Performance of photonic devices critically depends upon their efficiency on controlling the
flow of light therein. In the recent past, the implementation of plasmonics, two-dimensional …

Interest of the research in terahertz (THz) wave has been strongly motivated by its wide
applications in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Develo** …

There is a long, ongoing debate on how small molecules (osmolytes) affect the stability of
proteins. The present study found that change in collective rotational dynamics of water in …

The photo-induced radiolysis of water is an elementary reaction in biology and chemistry,
forming solvated electrons, OH radicals, and hydronium cations on fast time scales. Here …

Relativistic interactions between ultraintense (> 10 18 W cm-2) laser pulses and magnetized
underdense plasmas are known to produce few-cycle Cerenkov wake radiation in the …

Water is considered integral for the stabilization and function of proteins, which has recently
attracted significant attention. However, the microscopic aspects of water ranging up to the …

We report on efficient THz generation in DAST by optical rectification of intense mid-IR
pulses centered at (i) 3.9 μm and (ii) its second harmonic at 1.95 μm. Suppression of multi …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials which are finding application in a variety of
technologically important areas. Because of their hydrophilic character, at least a small …

Two-dimensional spectroscopic techniques combining terahertz (THz), infrared (IR), and
visible pulses offer a wealth of information about coupling among vibrational modes in …

Capabilities of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) at THz wavelengths for increased sub-
surface depth characterisation of (bio-) materials are presented. The penetration depth of a …
